A helicopter ride Iceland is the ultimate way to experience this icy and fiery country. Soar above mighty glaciers and bubbling volcanic craters, and land on a mountain for dreamlike views and unforgettable memories.

Helicopter tours are a popular activity in Iceland, so you should book ahead, especially during peak season. It’s also a good idea to pack travel insurance and suitable clothing for your adventure, as Icelandic weather can be unpredictable. If you’re worried about motion sickness, take medication before the tour.
